I am a repeated customer. Ryan is professional and friendly. He speaks some English so definitely non Chinese customers are okay to communicate with him. I just had a short wavy perm for $165. It was nice and I will go back again and again. read more

This place accepts both walk ins and appointments made by phone (they even can make appointments for same day). My bf called earlier in the day for a later appointment (4pm). We saw the place many times while shopping at dollar tree in the plaza and thought it might be fast and inexpensive. When we arrived, there was plenty of parking nearby. The place is next to many stores and the front of the stores are pretty transparent with glass windows for walls. There were three staff, all were available and when we walked in they asked if we had an appointment. As he was getting his haircut from one of them, two customers came in, one had a 4pm as well and the other was a walk in and they were both accommodated right away. One had really long hair, they even wash your hair. The other was short just like my bfs hair. My bf asked to cut the top a bit short and at times he would ask a few changes during and the stylist would accommodate . The haircut took roughly 10-15 minutes. Since I wasn't getting a haircut, if you don't want to wait, there are clothing stores, cafes, restaurants and a dollar tree you can go to explore. The haircut was good (in my opinion), it was roughly 25$ which is more than we thought. They had a sheet of prices he showed my bf and that's when we realized we should've asked for pricing before making an appointment rather than assuming. Overall, I thought the place was clean, fast, and accommodating during a Thursday evening (they probably weren't too busy on a weekday which makes sense making an appointment on weekends if they do get busy). read more

4/5 I've been coming here for a year now because it's close to where i live. They do accept walk ins but it's probably better to call and do an appointment because they might be busy. They are a typical asian place where english is limited and the service isn't too friendly. Overall they all seem to cut hair pretty good. I recommend Ben because he seems to be more careful and make sure the haircut is good. I would rate 5 stars but they did increase the pricing a lot recently and they usually cut my top too short to what i asked for. Overall the place is clean and there is plenty of parking since it's a large plaza. read more

I've been trying to find a hair salon good for women in late 20s/early 30s that don't do much to their hair. I get haircut about twice a year, and struggle to find a place that isn't dirt cheap with terrible cuts, or overly pricey because they cater to those that do more to their hair. I found my solution finally at Fastcuts. It's located in an unsuspecting strip mall in Arcadia, lots of parking available. I think the salon also recently changed owners potentially, as I remembered it to be a bit more run down before. What I liked about the salon is that you can make reservations online, which makes it easier to plan your day out. The prices are all listed so there are no surprises as well. Ryan was my hair stylist. I came in early Saturday morning, and the salon was already busy. I got a hair wash and a simple layered cut. He spent probably 40 minutes cutting and trimming my hair, and fixing my almost non-existing bangs several times. He took his time in blow drying my hair, and helping me get some natural curls out of my stick straight hair. I was pleasantly surprised that my bill came out to about half of what I was paying before, and I felt I got better customer experience this time. Aside from the price, I was genuinely happier with this hair cut compared to past I've gotten in the area!! Needless to say, I found my new hair salon and will definitely be frequenting this place in the future. They do get busy, especially around weekends or before holidays/chinese new year, so make sure you reserve online or call ahead. read more

Most known for their open walk-in availability, quick turn around times, and stunning hair cuts, this hair salon is one of my favorite local gems. For the price, you get what you want and more, including a wash and blow dry. I've always gotten layered cuts from here and my brothers usually get a chic fade or trim and styling. The staff are attentive and speak Mandarin and Cantonese. They accept credit cards and cash. You can call for an appt in advance, they are very casual and perfectionists with your hair. read more

Horrible service. This was the worse hair cutting experience I have ever had in my entire life! The guy that cut my hair was extremely rude. He draped a dirty apron over me that was covered with the prior client's hair. When asked to change it, he rudely barked, "they are all like that!" The duration of my trim was extremely uncomfortable, as the stylist was angry rude and impatient. All I asked for was a simple trim. It was my first and last time. I will not be returning. read more

I have been getting my haircut here for the past year. Although the stylists speak Chinese predominantly, they also have customers who are non-Chinese speaking. I prefer to make reservations online using the SquareGo app. I have tried the different stylists and Vincent most often accepts online reservations. Vincent is a great stylist. He is meticulous and efficient. I always leave the salon looking refreshed and confident. I highly recommend checking them out because of their fantastic service for an extremely competitive price. They do not have front desk workers or assistants, so my advice is when you enter the front door wave to one of the stylists and either tell them you have an appointment or want to get a haircut. If Chinese is not your primary language, I have seen customers bring in photos of their desired looks which seems to help overcome the language barrier. read more

They are fast, friendly, and very skilled in haircuts. I usually go to a fancy place in Pasadena, but this spot is just as good. My whole family comes here, kids, adults, grandparents! Highly recommend! read more

Wang was excellent with haircut Last minute walk in they took me Wang gave great suggestions for my hair style read more

It seems like the less than 5 stars reviews were on point. The haircut was pretty decent, which is the reason for 4 stars, but please keep in mind: Nobody will greet you when you walk in, and most likely will let you sit there unless you approach someone to ask for service. This place has an appointment system on Yelp, which lets you pick the time, what kind of service, and any special requests and choose the barber. However, when i came in for my appointment, it seemed like the system was not even being used, so i didn't get the service I requests online and unable to speak Mandarin but luckily i have a photos to show the barber. The place seems modern and clean, but you can see a lot of spider webs between the stations. Also, the staff don't really speak English, so if you don't speak Mandarin, it's best to have a picture to show how you want your haircut. Probably won't be coming back. read more

Really bad experience. My hair looks like shit. My shirt is dirty. My mood is ruined.

My go to place for 7 years. Reasonable pricing. We dont understand each other language, but am always happy afterwords :)

I booked a hair cut appointment online but when i arrived they were clueless. I showed the confirmation and they still looked confused.They talked amongst themselves trying to decide who would cut my hair. I should've left at that moment they seemed bothered I booked online . Finally one said to sit down and proceed to get started. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and showed him the length I wanted. My hair was curly so i requested for a wash . He IGNORED ME and proceeded to spray my hair with water . The cut was horrible and uneven ! They blow out he have made it worse . The "technique" he used only made my hair tangled on the brush and gave botched blow out curls. I immediately left when he finished and found another salon that showed me how uneven my hair was and how short ! I had long hair and now it's all gone . I regret coming here and not leaving at first. Horrible place ! read more

Great place. Clean, modern, and bright inside. The guy was friendly and meticulous about getting each strand perfectly even. I made an appointment at 1pm but when I came it wasn't busy at all on a Wednesday. My hair was long (mid back length). Asked for a layered cut. I showed him a picture on Pinterest and he knew what to do right away. He also suggested to trim my bangs (that I cut myself at home and it didn't look very good lol). He fixed it for me. Was in and out in about 40 minutes. Reasonable prices. Their English is limited so if you have a style in mind it's best to show them pictures. read more

If you're not Asian, you might have a hard time here. Even for me who is used to the curt customer service style it was a lot to put up with. I do not recommend Ben. The conversation with him was also extremely taxing, it felt like an old grandpa from the previous generation talking down at you. And expect to have your hair pulled and face poked with a comb multiple times. After I got home, I had to cut two spots of long hair where he missed. You have to call to make a real appointment. They don't look at the online system. read more

Ryan is amazing! Fixed the mess from Supercuts. Aside from that, he gave me the best hair cut ever...

Arrived around 5:30 pm Friday, walk in no appointment. C has been here before and likes the haircut but male staff addressed us only in Mandarin (we're Asian but neither of us speaks Chinese) and when C said in English he didn't speak Chinese they gestured to a third staff who was chillin by the window with headphones that C acknowledged as having provided C's hair cut previously. Staff got up and quietly gestured to a chair. Not a lot of words exchanged but C conveyed what hairstyle he wanted and the staff member double checked at the end in English if The haircut was ok or if further adjustments were needed. C requested the top be a bit shorter and the staff snipped and buzzed additionally. Upon completion staff checked in again. Haircut looked good. Salon's physical environment is very nice. Noted that Staff banters with each other in a friendly manner in mandarin and I heard them practicing Spanish as well comparing mandarin Thank you to Gracias. I did observe them greet other customers with quiet pleasantries. Customer service is not outgoing and I can definitely see why some customers who don't speak mandarin may feel overlooked and may not be directly addressed as in other salons. I'd give another star if not for this. If you come through be prepared to take the direct approach and initiative. read more

Lucy has turned her lovely classic salon business into a modern trendy local haircut joint. Except that she is no longer the owner and boss. The ladies and gentlemen running this place gets the job done. Pro tip, show them a photo and they lll know what to ask you. Only downside is their service, could use some acknowledgement when guest walk in the door so there is no confusion on who got here first. read more

I'm not really one to write reviews but this is probably the best haircut I ever gotten in my life haha! Ryan was my stylist and he's the first person who's actually cut my hair the length I wanted with very natural layering - thank you! He also straightened my hair with a blowdryer and put two products in my hair which was really nice and unexpected. Would definitely come back again. read more

I've been coming here to get haircuts for a few years now. I always ask for Ryan because he did such a good job with haircuts (wash and cut). I have also got my hair permed (yes guys can do that too!). Overall, very good service for the money. I highly recommend this place! read more

My sons' fast to go hair cut place. The price is fair and the owner has been in hair cut business for long time

To be honest, I wouldn't have gone here if it wasn't for me trying to find a hair salon place close by Methodist Hospital. Once I walked in, I wasn't greeted by any of the 3 hair stylist. Sure the modern decor looks nice but there were no greetings nor a place to sign in as you arrive. I just sat myself hoping they knew who I would be after or at least I knew myself who I would be after. There were 4 people waiting while 3 customers were getting their hair cuts. 2 people were actually waiting for their friend/family to get their hair done while a dad and his kid went up to get their hair cut. Then a woman walks in and immediately gets her hair cut by one of the guys which was probably an appointment. The other two stylists were finishing up. One eventually is done and doesn't say anything to me so he walks to the back and I guess he was on break or something. He then proceeds to sit in the waiting area and the woman stylist proceeded with the dad and ask the guy if he can cut my hair since she had an appointment at 2pm. He answered her saying that he had an appointment as well. After a couple of mins going back and forth, I was finally up to get my hair cut. 10 mins later, my hair is done. I asked this guy to cut a 1 on the side to later find out that a small spot of my side was a bit longer than the 1 I had asked for. How much did I pay where I can get a much nicer and more detailed haircut at my usual spots? $15. Unbelievable. Never again am I coming back to this place. Definitely not worth coming back to again. read more

Came in for a quick cut and I got exactly what I wanted. Walked in at about 2:10 with no appt and paid and left before 3 :) Although I don't think anyone there speaks much English, it was no trouble to show them what I wanted and how short I wanted off the top. Everyone there was friendly and my barber was really quick and good with the clippers. Fastcuts got fast cuts, man read more

So squeeze-in with Catherine this morning because my friend was going to her for a cut, she made an appt last night & I asked if I can be included. It had been over 6mo since my last cut somewhere else (I didnt like it at all). My friend goes to Catherine regularly about every 2mos. My last regular stylist became a celebrity stylist &went from like $50 to $75 then to UNAFFORDABLE for trims even. This was like 2011. Ive just gone to different spots for trims over the years since. I like my friend's hair, she gets short stylish cuts. So I figured anything would be good for me, my hair was just long & blah, past down my shoulder blades. So I sat in her chair, showed her kind of a pic how I wanted it (usual kinda swoop long bangs & slight layers for volume look). LEMME TELL YOU! OMG! Best hair cut I've had in YEARS! I got shampooed too which felt amazing. I got about 3-4" off & felt like a new person. Catherine is MAGICAL with them scissors. She did EXACTLY what I hoped for. And it was so inexpensive, I couldn't believe it. I think I've found my new stylist... 15mins from home. Like WOW. Highly recommend Catherine. Seriously. read more

Ask for Vincent for the freshest cut. Nice ambiance, good service. Consistent results. Got my hair ruined by a bunch of terrible barbers that can't even do a fade properly, always got it fixed here read more

My daughter and I had haircuts here yesterday. They are very professional and had reasonable prices. We will definitely come again.

My son really liked his haircut. I think it's one of the best he's had and although the stylist only spoke Chinese, he seemed to know a lot about hair. read more

Heads-up: My son and I have been coming to Lucy for our haircuts for the past 7 years. There are other stylists but we've been exclusive to Lucy. Kudos: Lucy is fast and very skilled. She can take care of both of our heads in less than half an hour and it always turns out the way that we like it. We pay $12/person + tip but if you're a newcomer, it's even cheaper. Could be better: The cost does not include rinse. Also, it may take going a few times to get to know her and for her to be familiar with your preferences. No credit cards. Shooting from the hip: This is a typical Asian place that's rough on the edges and not the easiest on the eye. However, Lucy is fantastic and I wouldn't trust my head (or my son's head) with anybody else. read more

They are open now, you need to write down your contact info and they'll test your temp before hair cut. If you have any symptoms they won't give service. Reasonable considering they are trying to keep everyone safe and not wanting to spread covid to anyone. Will come back again in the future. read more

Great Haircut Place!!! First time there, i was a little skeptical but boy was i wrong! I Got a women's haircut for myself and a kids haircut for my son VINCENT was our stylist and he did more than an amazing job! He did a spectacular job!! One of the best haircuts ive ever gotten and my son has ever gotten as well & at a reasonable price! I would give this place 10 stars if i could! I recommend Vincent for your hair needs! He took his time with my hair, very patient and such a perfectionist i love his work! Such a kind man! I recommend you show him a picture of the cut you want since there is a language barrier but the women that works there or a younger male know english and they can also translate. read more

I got a haircut from them a while ago since I was trying to find new barbers. I personally don't speak Chinese but I was still able to get the haircut I wanted with just a picture. The fact that the haircut came out exactly as I wanted was amazing to me without having to explain anything. My barber took 1 look and just went for it. I would definitely recommend this place again read more

Very satisfied. Accidentally came across this place and walked in at 7:10pm. The store supposed to close, but the barber said he would take me as the last customer. Got my hair cut whiling chatting with the barber. Very happy with the result. Will become my go to place read more

Not a good place at all to get your haircut. I dropped by for a men's haircut and the place was pretty empty. That is probably your first clue it would be bad. I think it was the owner who gave me the haircut and she just rushed like crazy through it. I like my hair short so it's not a complicated haircut but she just started roughly buzzing away like she really needed to finish my haircut in under five minutes or something. I got no sense that she was trying to give me a good haircut. It was like she was late for something or had another appointment but the place was completely empty. The haircut turned out to be uneven with lots of missed hairs sticking out. She's nice as a person but acted like she was trying to beat her own record on how fast she could finish a haircut. I went back a few days ago to give her another chance but she did the same thing. No one was after me and she still rushed through my haircut without paying any attention to details. read more

I've only come in here once during the late summer, as a walk-in, towards closing time. Believe I paid $8 for my haircut (before tip), so price-wise Lucy Salon is one of the cheaper barbers that I've seen around. It appeared she got a little annoyed when I said that the cut still seemed long, so that gave a bit of a negative impression. But as Terrence S. (http://www.yelp.com/biz/lucy-salon-arcadia#hrid:83nQjmDOqTpEfbGgCVQt5g) mentioned in his review of the place: "it may take going a few times to get to know her and for her to be familiar with your preferences." I think price alone may encourage me to return and give the place a second try. Also doesn't hurt that it's around my neighborhood. And with ample parking, shares the lot with the 99¢ Store (http://www.yelp.com/biz/99-cents-only-store-arcadia). read more
